Carolina Beach rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a Carolina Beach rental home:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking your Carolina Beach vacation home in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Selecting the best rental in the Carolina Beach area:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. New! Close to Beach w Hot Tub! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is best for your trip.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or could be applied to your contract.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
